Vint-i-set a set dies
i no estic millor que abans
somniava d'altres vides
l'últim cop que vaig fer anys.

Vint-i-set sense abraçades,
sense amor, sense petons,
un altre any a batzegades,
de regals, només mitjons.

Vint-i-set i amb més preguntes
l'àvia vol un casament,
vint-i-set, plena de dubtes,
no sé qui sóc en aquest moment.

Vint-i-set i a dins diluvia,
no em puc aixoplugar,
sóc més gran, però no més sàvia:
només em sé equivocar.

Vint-i-set i hi ha rialles,
i somric per fer el paper,
hi ha dies que res falla,
i segueixo no estant bé.

When the fuck will covid end


I understand every restriction,
every need for isolation,
the need to sit and wait,
the high infection rate.

I get that I can't fly home,
that it's normal to feel alone,
that I can't leave if I wanted to
that I don't get to hug or touch you.

I read all the lockdown plans,
the need for vaccine rollouts,
just holding on a little longer
waiting will make me stronger.

I am still trying to hold on
while everyone else has moved on.
I'm dealing with panic attacks
instead of accepting the facts

I am not able to accept this,
there are so many things I miss,
I just wait around doing nothing
and this letargy is crushing.

When the fuck will covid end
I just want to hug a friend,
fly home or take a break,
stop feeling my heart ache.

Chocolate cake

Whenever I get
a tiny piece of you,
I always crave
a tiny bit more.

I dosify you
unwillingly,
controlling myself
to be good.

I want to give in
and engulf you,
so that you'd stop
tempting me.

But you're too good
to be devoured:
you deserve to be enjoyed
bit by bit.



Mom

Hey mom 
Thanks for showing me what love looks like
and not fucking me up
Thanks for teaching me what home means
and that I shouldn't settle 
for any less.
Thanks for showering me with love
for making me feel blessed.
Thanks for letting me grow up 
without needing to worry
because you knew
I'd have plenty of time for that
once I was older.

Hey mom
I need you right now
can you come pick me up?
I can't find home.
Hey mom,
please take me away,
I'm so alone.
Mom,
I made a mistake 
I thought I could take it,
I'm so afraid.

Desperate

This will not make a good poem
It's a short story that I tell myself
when I need to be convinced
that I don't really need you.

The words I need to scream
to stop scrolling through your photos
to stop playing that sad song
to stop reading through your poems.

This is my desperate cry to be healthy
and finally let go of your memories
instead of grasping at them
as if they could save me in any way.
